High-capacity industrial smoking and drying system

Maximize your production volume without expanding your facility footprint. Integrate high-capacity smoking, drying, and fermentation processes seamlessly within your existing setup, enhancing throughput for meats, fish, and dairy with advanced air and climate control.

Processes Meat, Fish, and Dairy for Optimal Yield

The Climamat Highcube by VETEC Anlagenbau is a versatile chamber designed for smoking, drying, and fermenting applications in meat, fish, and dairy production. This ETO equipment enhances production efficiency by employing a patented alternating treatment system that evenly processes both the top and bottom sections, ensuring uniform product quality. It supports a wide range of end-products, including frankfurters, salami, and cheddar cheese, with a scalable design that accommodates production volumes up to threefold. Its fully automatic operation, integrated with automated guided vehicles (AGVs), reduces labor costs while enabling seamless batch processing. Climate control is achieved using adaptable cooling and heating systems, compatible with glycol, freon, or ammonia for cooling, and hot water, steam, or electric options for heating. The machine’s design includes a CIP system for streamlined, high-standard hygiene maintenance. Every unit can be customized with advanced options such as smoke generators and a central management system for detailed process oversight, fulfilling the needs of food industry leaders.
